For decades, we have helped purpose-driven organizations amplify their messages with targeted marketing that maximizes every dollar.

Read on to discover our unique approach and see it in action with three of our purpose-driven marketing clients.
First, We Understand Your Brand
Your brand is not just a logo, slogan, or color scheme. It’s the very identity of your organization, embodying your values, mission, and the unique promise you offer to your customers. Effective branding evokes an emotional connection, making your audience feel understood and valued.
At Creative Noggin, we delve deep into the core persona of your business to uncover what makes you unique. Only then do we approach how to best communicate your unique brand through your marketing.
A Unique Approach: Real Branding™
Your audience members are bombarded with marketing messages day in and day out. A key strategy in gaining first-time and repeat supporters is creating and promoting an authentic brand to your target markets.
Before any marketing campaigns take place, we dig deep to understand:
- What can you promise—and deliver upon—that no other organization can?
- What is the personality of your brand?
- What does your audience value?
Get in touch with us to learn more about the power of Real Branding™.

Case Study: Full-Service Marketing for San Antonio Ready to Work
San Ready to Work is an unprecedented workforce initiative helping residents of San Antonio access low-cost and no-cost professional training, education, and quality careers.
“Talented. Friendly. Professional. Timely. Those are attributes in the people behind Creative Noggin. Tracy, Sara, Susanne and the entire team built the Ready to Work brand from the ground up, including the logo, brand guideline, collateral and many of the assets that our program used to begin this unprecedented city and county-wide initiative for job education, training and placement. Creative Noggin puts its heart and soul into the work that they do—and they jump in to lend a helping hand whenever we need them the most. Ready to Work is a true community collaborative, and that’s the spirit they deliver to the Workforce Development Office, the City of San Antonio and the participants, potential participants, employers and stakeholders. The team cares and it shows.”
Case Study: Visual Branding for Thriving Families
We were thrilled when the Nonprofit California Alternative Payment Program Association (CAPPA) entrusted us with their rebrand to Thriving Families.
Our goal was to design vibrant, impactful branding highlighting the organization’s vital work supporting low-income families across California while capturing its bold vision for the future.
Here’s what Marketing Director Danielle Metzger said about working with us:
“The Creative Noggin team is very responsive and professional. . . We have had such positive feedback on the work they did for us and have other partners wanting to utilize their services. We are so impressed with their work that we will be using them for future projects as well.”
Case Study: Social Media Campaign for Agency on Aging Area 4
Agency on Aging Area 4 (AAA4), a nonprofit government agency serving adults 60+ in Northern California, faced a challenge: Their CalFresh application assistance program was underutilized. They turned to us to find a more effective way to connect with this hard-to-reach audience.
They aimed to raise awareness about their organization and drive 40 to 60 new signups to their CalFresh program.
We researched AAA4 and its target audience, then crafted and executed a four-month Facebook and Instagram content strategy blending organic and paid social media. The outcome exceeded expectations: 105 new CalFresh signups were directly attributed to our social media efforts.
The client shared this quote about their experience:
“We had a great experience working with Creative Noggin. They were insightful, creative, helpful, professional, and an overall pleasure to work with! We would definitely work with them again on our next nonprofit creative ad campaign. Thank you, Creative Noggin!” – Julie Beckner
